This
weekend, I was moved to tears by a segment on Jon Stewart’s Daily Show. I was leery of
writing of it, for fear the “ULTIMATE DIVIDER”
– politics – might rear its ugly head. However, I ASSURE
you this piece will touch ALL Americans – as it rightfully should. This
has NOTHING to do with Democrats or Republicans – but government in
general; and thus, the appalling way “AMERICA TREATS ITS
OWN”…

The
segment was done in two parts; the first, describing how Congress
(again, NOT “Republicans” or “Democrats”; but
GOVERNMENT) refused to pass a bill providing funding to integrate returning
veterans into the work force…

Essentially,
EVERYTHING about the “War on Terrorism” has been a BOLD-FACED
LIE; and NO ONE has suffered more than the soldiers – and their
families – duped into “serving their country”; just as in
Vietnam, when 55,000 American soldiers were killed, along with more than 3.5
MILLION Vietnamese…

But
it’s the second segment that will REALLY anger you; and likely,
move you to tears as well. These two brave veterans needlessly risked
their lives EVERY day in the name of the government PROPAGANDA machine; only
to be “tossed to the curb” once their tours ended. Tens of
millions of Americans could not care less; and hopefully, the
spreading of this video might help to effect change – or at the least,
passage of that pathetic $1 billion bill…

I am of the Vietnam era and have always been absolutely disgusted by the way our government AND general populace treated the returning veterans. I recently lost and old friend that served in the South Pacific theater, was shipped to Nagasaki shortly after it was bombed.....he was plagued by health problems that were obvious results of radiation poisening and only received denial from the government. A few weeks before his death in 2012, the government did admit that his health problems resulted from radiation exposure, but they had lost his records and therefore denied that he had ever been in Nagasaki. I knew this man for at least 30 years and I cannot recall that he ever once uttered a negative comment towards his country. The many problems this country has have been CAUSED by the government, including the condition of the economy. The deficit didn't just jump out of a closet nor was it caused by a bunch of us now old farts wanting to collect the funds we paid into Social Security. I, for one, intend to collect, regardless of what it takes and I can assure you I'm not alone.
